Greg, do you want to submit a patch for this or add a TODO item for this?
Well I never got any approval or rejection in principle so I don't know if
such a patch would be accepted even if it were implemented reasonably. If it
has the consensus needed to

Well we're not really looking for the optimal packing in general. All the
problems here have to do with convenience in the implementation rather than

This is a bit of a kludge since it doesn't actually provide any interface for
external clients of the numeric module to parse the resulting data. Ie, the
